Memorial for Adam Nelson and Ryan Rodriguez

(Verse 1 - Soft Acoustic Guitar)

The chat moves a little slower tonight

The green names are missing from the monitor light

Adam, you held the line when the trolls broke in

With a steady hand and a quiet grin

And Ryan, you kept the peace with a brother's heart

It feels so heavy watching the stream start

Without you guys sitting in your usual chairs

Answering the whispers and the community prayers.

(Chorus - Drums and heavy guitars kick in)

But the ban hammer’s resting, the chat’s saying goodbye

We’re sending your emotes up into the sky

Adam Nelson, your watch is finally done

Ryan Rodriguez, you were a golden son

You built the walls of the home we share

And we'll make sure they remember you were there

Yeah, the mods never die, they just watch from above

In the eternal chat of the community love.

I look at the logs and I see your names

Woven right into the fabric of the games

You weren't just text on a pixelated screen

You were the truest friends we've ever seen

The stream goes live, but we pause the timer

To honor the brothers who climbed a little higher.

(Outro - Back to soft acoustic)

Goodnight, Adam.

Rest easy, Ryan.

The chat is safe tonight.

Clear headers, clear hearts.

Goodbye.
